Cinematic lyric video over your album cover

Let the artwork carry the atmosphere. Widescreen moves gently through your cover while the words stay clear in front of it.

Give a slower song room

A ballad, country song or spacious verse can benefit from a frame that does less. Slow pushes, subtle depth and film texture let a line settle before the next arrives. The artwork holds the scene through an instrumental gap.

Place the words around the picture

Use Position to keep the lyric away from the important part of your cover. A face, title or bright detail can change where a line reads best. Check the opening, the chorus and the longest line before exporting.

Landscape first, portrait considered

The wide composition gives the cover room to breathe. The upright clip reframes it for a phone. Preview both crops: the part of the artwork that works behind a landscape line may be too busy behind a portrait one.

These are the current editor choices. Some fonts depend on the letters in your song; the editor checks them before you choose.

A few things to know

Do I need a video background?

No. Widescreen builds the scene from your cover artwork.

Can I move the lyrics away from a face?

Use the available Position choices and preview the result with your own cover.

Will every cover have the same depth effect?

No. The result depends on the artwork and its depth information. Check your preview before downloading.
